September is perfect for newcomers to the snow

Victoria’s largest alpine resort, Falls Creek, has had two very cold days (and nights) at the stat of spring A fresh layer of snow and mid-winter conditions will ensure September is an ideal time to experience schussing the resort’s slopes that have something for everyone from first-timer to a very accomplished skier or boarder..

And even better news is, it is half the cost of what guests pay in the alpine resort’s peak season. All the elements of a snow holiday, accommodation, ski lift tickets, ski lessons and snow equipment hire, are at least 50% off the most popular winter weeks.

September is often warmer than the earlier months of Falls Creek’s snow season. This is a bonus for first-timers who have considered heading to a ski resort but might have thought its too cold. And it is affordable!!!

Three night stay in a self-contained Falls Creek Country Club apartment, three day ski lifts, lessons & snow equipment rental from $480 per adult. Prices based on four people staying in apartment from 14 September
